SMITH1 &K.NE´ METH2* 1School of Environment, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand 2Volcanic Risk Solutions, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Small-scale volcanic systems are the most widespread type of volcanism on Earth and occur in all of the main tectonic settings. Most commonly, these systems erupt basaltic magmas within a wide compositional range from strongly silica undersaturated to saturated and oversatu- rated; less commonly, the spectrum includes more siliceous compositions. Small-scale volcanic systems are commonly monogenetic in the sense that they are represented at the Earth’s surface by fields of small volcanoes, each the product of a temporally restricted eruption of a composition- ally distinct batch of magma, and this is in contrast to polygenetic systems characterized by rela- tively large edifices built by multiple eruptions over longer periods of time involving magmas with diverse origins. Eruption styles of small-scale volcanoes range from pyroclastic to effusive, and are strongly controlled by the relative influence of the characteristics of the magmatic system and the surface environment.

Wilshire 1 Open-File Report 92-181 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. *345 Middlefield Road MS/975, Menlo Park, CA 94025 GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE INDIAN SPRING QUADRANGLE, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA INTRODUCTION Eruptive rocks of the Cima volcanic field occur almost entirely within six 7.5 minute quadrangles, Indian Spring, Marl Mountains, Granite Spring, Cow Cove, Solomons Knob, and Valley Wells. The following description applies to all six quadrangles. The Cima volcanic field is a small (-300 km^) Tertiary-Quaternary alkaline basalt field in the Ivanpah highlands (Hewett, 1956), in east-central Mojave Desert (Fig. 1). The basaltic rocks, which range from late Miocene to Holocene, were erupted from at least 71 vents. The younger vents are well-formed cinder cones, whereas older vents are marked by degraded cinder cones, plugs, and crater-fill lava flows. The volcanic rocks were described in a general geologic study by Hewett (1956). The southern part of the field was mapped by Barca (1966), and fie northern part by DeWitt (1980). Topical studies of the volcanic field include the geomorphology of pediment domes (Sharp, 1957; Dohrenwend and others, 1984a,b), geomorphic and soil evolution of the lava flows (Wells and others, 1984; McFadden and others, 1984), paleontology and stratigraphy of Tertiary and Quaternary deposits of the Shadow Valley Basin (Reynolds and Nance, 1988), structural studies (Hewett, 1956; Dunne, 1977; Reynolds, 1990; Skirvin and Wells, 1990), polycyclic volcanism (Renault and Wells, 1990), and evolution of the upper mantle and lower crust beneath Cima based on xenoliths in the basalts (Wilshire, 1990; Wilshire and others, 1991).

  • Determining the Long-Term Behavior of Monogenetic Volcanic Fields
    Determining the long-term behavior of monogenetic volcanic fields: An integrated study of physical volcanology, tectonics and hazard assessment at the Lunar Crater and Reveille Range Volcanic Fields, Nevada (USA) A proposal submitted to the committee of Dr. Greg Valentine (Advisor) Dr. Tracy Gregg Dr. Joaquin Cortés By Amanda Hintz As partial fulfillment of the Ph.D. Program of SUNY at Buffalo Department of Geology May 2009 Abstract The Lunar Crater and Reveille Range volcanic fields (Nevada) will be used to initiate an investigation into the widespread, global nature of monogenetic volcanic fields. These fields will be examined in terms of their physical volcanology, relationship to local structure, internal plumbing and potential future eruptions. This work proposes to determine the long-term eruptive behavior of these fields and to project comparable behaviors onto other volcanic fields with similar physical characteristics. I. Introduction and Background There are at least 150 monogenetic volcanic fields around the world (it is currently unknown how many are considered ‘active’), some on the sea floor, but the overwhelming majority occur on the continental crust (Connor and Conway, 2000). Some fields have been studied extensively (e.g. the Southwest Nevada Volcanic Field (SNVF) in Nevada), but many are fundamentally unstudied, and even unnamed. The SNVF is likely the most studied volcanic field in the world due to its proximity to the proposed Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. Like many of the volcanic fields in the United States, specifically those in the Southwest, the SNVF is considered remote and a future monogenetic eruption is not likely to seriously impact a large population (SNVF is ~150 km from Las Vegas, Nevada) in the next 10-8 years (Coppersmith et al., 2005).

Bianco, 20131 Milan, Italy *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite a number of published papers focusing on the geodynamic implications of the recent Southern Puna mafic magmatism, there have been fewer studies of the volcanology and stratigraphy of this outstanding volcanism. This paper presents a detailed map of two well- preserved Quaternary scoria cones showing their complex stratigraphy. Complementary morpho- metric, morpho-structural, petrographic and geochemical data were used to reconstruct the evolu- tion of both volcanoes. The occurrence of more than one eruption at each volcano was inferred by the recognition of temporal hiatuses using morpho-stratigraphic criteria. The polycyclic nature of both scoria cones could be related to a combination of a high input magma in response to litho- spheric delamination, a favourable regional stress field and the interaction of rising magma with pre-existing faults. The youngest eruptions in both volcanoes were complex, with shifts in the erup- tive style from violent strombolian to hawaiian /strombolian phases, and probably lasted for a few years.

The unique physical properties of lava pose interesting challenges for recovery, as lava flows can be highly permeable while lava itself is dense, sterile, and generally inhospitable towards life. This dissertation examines two aspects of landscape recovery following lava flow emplacement: (1) hydrologic adaptation of surface and groundwater to recent volcanism and (2) plant colonization of young lava flows.

  • Colorado Plateau Magmatism and Uplift by Warming of Heterogeneous Lithosphere
    Vol 459 | 18 June 2009 | doi:10.1038/nature08052 LETTERS Colorado Plateau magmatism and uplift by warming of heterogeneous lithosphere Mousumi Roy1, Thomas H. Jordan2 & Joel Pederson3 The forces that drove rock uplift of the low-relief, high-elevation, Colorado Plateau and, additionally, that this mechanism explains the tectonically stable Colorado Plateau are the subject of long-standing observed rates of encroachment of the onset of Cenozoic magmatism debate1–5. While the adjacent Basin and Range province and Rio onto the plateau. Grande rift province underwent Cenozoic shortening followed by The widespread distribution of shallow-marine and coastal-affinity extension6, the plateau experienced 2 km of rock uplift7 without sediments of late-Cretaceous age on the Colorado Plateau suggests significant internal deformation2–4. Here we propose that warming relatively uniform elevation of the region at or near sea-level at that of the thicker, more iron-depleted Colorado Plateau lithosphere8–10 time. The present-day elevations of these strata can be reconstructed over 35–40 Myr following mid-Cenozoic removal of the Farallon (including eustasy) to determine spatially varying net rock uplift and plate from beneath North America11,12 is the primary mechanism erosion functions across the plateau7, with a mean of ,1.9 km net driving rock uplift. In our model, conductive re-equilibration not Cenozoic rock uplift (Fig. 1a) and net Cenozoic erosion of ,481 m only explains the rock uplift of the plateau, but also provides a (Fig. 1b). These reflect net deposition in early-Cenozoic time, mid- robust geodynamic interpretation of observed contrasts between Cenozoic stability and then enhanced erosion since drainage integ- the Colorado Plateau margins and the plateau interior.
